Thank you very much, this came in very handy.

Youssef.

I must respectfully disagree with you.

A couple of days ago law enforcement officers responded to a domestic violence event. They went to protect someone's freedom and now four of them are in the hospital.

Around the world men and women in military service protect us from evil; from people who would torture or kill us because of our religious, social, or other personal preferences. The cost to some who defend us is high; they give their lives. For us.

Freedom isn't free.

Here at home we work to support our families. Food. Housing. Someone has to pay the cost. The people who worked hard to write and produce those books deserve at least a thank you for their work. If possible, a reward for their labor; writing a book and getting it to market is difficult. Often with not much return.

Knowledge isn't free but sometimes we receive it as a gift.

I encourage all of us to consider freedom and knowledge; appreciate those who provide it. Where you can, work to help those who need what you can provide.

Thank you to the authors who wrote and the people who provide so I can gain knowledge. I pray for the wisdom to help others.

Quoting Leam Hall (leamhall@gmail.com):

evil;

A very quick knee-jerk reaction, since the subject is outrageosuly
offtopic with this list.

Men and women in military service (and in police uniform), *if we are
lucky*, *try* to protect us from the effects of *violation of current
law*. And current law, since it is a human product, and always a
result of compromise, may well go orthogonal with your sense of
ethics, or may be unpalatably interpreted in the given circumstances.

Evil is something else.

Freedom isn't free.

Leam, this is perfectly true. But the problem with the English language is that it conflates two very different concepts into the one word, "free".

There is "free", as in, without cost.

There is "free", as in, not restricted, locked away, accessible to all. (The French word "libre" has this meaning and is sometimes co-opted by the FOSS community for this purpose.)

In my opinion, knowledge should be accessible to all ("free as in freedom"?). That comes at a price. Worth paying, though.

All work deserves benefit. I did not say it must be zero cost, what I meant
was this Gratis versus libre - Wikipedia . I too have
written a Ruby programming book, it helped e to learn the language, and
because of it I have huge benefits. People give me Rails projects to my
code house without asking a question.

Yes one might charge for his or her work, but once some one buys it, they
too must have freedom to use it in any way they wish.

thx Carlo, you seem to read my mind

Evil is something else.

... and such an easy concept
